kept a strict day-trading routine for a month — review

ditched gut-feel trading and ran a routine for a month. 1. Pre-market: note the macro + key levels, pick only 2–3 tickers to trade 2. Trade only in set hours (no all-nighters), cap daily trade count 3. Journal + review after the session result: impulse trades dropped hard and losses got controlled. but day trading is high-frequency, so fees genuinely decide your return — without a rebate the monthly fees alone would've been brutal. the more you trade, the more 'fix the fees first' is priority #1
